3,623 PointsUsing the has_value? method, check to see if the grocery_item hash has a value called "Bread". If it does, set a new key
Does anyone know how to go about answering this question? I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but I am completely stumped.
grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }
grocery_item.has_value?("Bread")
grocery_item {food => true}

grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }
first line
if grocery_item.has_value?("Bread")
2nd line
grocery_item["food"] = true
3rd line
end
hope this helps

grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }
if grocery_item.has_value?("Bread") == true
grocery_item.store("food", true)
end

if grocery_item.has_value?("Bread")
hash = {"New_key" => "New_value"}

The code that worked for me is:
grocery_item.store("food", true) if grocery_item.has_value?("Bread")
